CRUSADES 2000: Johnson Evokes Bible 'Admonition' to 'Stand With Israel' After House Advances Major Aid Bill

Israel is continuing its bombardment and massacre in Gaza, and its war of genocide has been framed by Johnson as a fight of good vs. evil.

The Trends Journal has long warned that U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson represents the Evangelical zealots in the House who Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu relies on to keep Congress in his pocket and get Washington to march to his orders.

Johnson, who successfully advanced a bill that would provide Israel with $26 billion in military funding — $12 billion MORE than the Senate had in mind, spoke to Newsmax after the vote and explained its importance.

“I think most people understand the necessity of this funding. [Israelis are] fighting for their very existence. They're the only stable democracy in the Middle East,” he said. “For those of us who are believers, it's a biblical admonition to stand with Israel. We will and they will prevail. And this is a very important symbolic gesture and a very important replenishment of their stockpiles, for example, of the Iron Dome. The reason they shot down all those drones and missiles in the last attack by Iran is because we assisted with that. I think the American people understand the importance of that.”

ISRAEL LOBBY WANTS TIKTOK EITHER SOLD OR BANNED: TOP PROFESSOR

Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst, responded to Johnson’s comment on X: “SPEAKER JOHNSON: You refer in error to ‘the Biblical admonition to stand with Israel.’ Genesis supersedes the mistaken notion of divinely authorized violence. The blood of Abel in Gaza cries out to God. We are called to be our brother's keeper, not killer.”

Johnson, of course, is not the first U.S. politician to refer to Israel’s War “religious” in nature.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, the warmongering U.S. Republican freak, identified the Israel-Hamas war as a “religious war” and said he stands squarely behind Israel in its revenge attacks in Gaza. 

“We’re in a religious war here. I am with Israel. Do whatever the hell you have to do to defend yourself. Level the place,” he said earlier in the war.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark, who can’t hide his racism and calls Arabs “goat-herders,” also posted on X: “Israel will need reinforcements in this war. President Biden should follow President Nixon’s example from the Yom Kippur War when faced with another surprise attack on Israel fifty years ago this weekend: send everything that shoots on everything that flies.”

TRENDPOST: Totally absent from the mainstream media news is how and why the West’s decision to create the Jewish State of Israel sowed the seeds of Crusades 2000.

Israel is continuing its bombardment and massacre in Gaza, and its war of genocide has been framed by Johnson as a fight of good vs. evil. 

Bloomberg ran an article just weeks after the 7 October Hamas invasion noting that there is a “significant section of evangelicals” who are part of the U.S. Republican Party that says bloodshed in Israel “will pave the way for the second coming of Christ.”

Shakeb Ayaz, a writer based in New Delhi, India, wrote in The Times of India last month that these individuals see the heavy-handed Israeli response to the attack as “prophetically legitimized.”

“The inhabitants of the Holy City and surrounding areas were apparently always children of lesser gods, even more than a thousand years ago. Since then, Christians, Muslims, and Jews have been fighting savage battles to control Jerusalem, arguably the world’s most contested city, and surrounding geographies, sacred to all three Abrahmanic faiths,” he wrote. Ayaz continued, “On July 15, 1099, crusaders or religious war mongers from across Europe entered Jerusalem and indulged in a massacre of thousands, including Jews, Muslims, and Orthodox Christians. When western weapons are now used to ethically cleanse a civilian population in Gaza, history is only being repeated.”

Wipe Out 

We’ve reported extensively on how the U.S. House of Representatives is headed by Speaker Mike Johnson, who told Congress his first act of speaker would be to assure funding for Israel’s war effort in Gaza. He made his first appearance in front of Jewish Republicans and said, “God is not done with Israel.”

The New Republic said Johnson seems to be the “run-of-the-mill Christian Zionists, fueled by fantasies of a cataclysmic war in the Middle East that brings about the Second Coming of Christ, wherein all Muslims—and Jews, for that matter—either convert or face eternal damnation.”

Haaretz published an illuminating report at the time that could offer a glimpse into Johnson’s decision to list Israel as his top agenda item as speaker in an article titled, “New House Speaker Mike Johnson, an Evangelical Christian, Holds Ties to Israel’s Far Right.”

The paper wrote that his selection was “the most significant victory to date for evangelical Christians’ pro-Israel movement.”

The paper noted that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu relies on Evangelical support in the U.S. as his own government moves to the right and was losing some support from American Jews. The 7 October attack by Hamas only moved the “pro-Israel Evangelical” even more “vocally pro-Israel.”

The report pointed to a trip that Johnson took to Israel in 2020 with a group whose CEO is a “social media activist named Avi Abelow, who emigrated from New York more than 30 years ago at age 18 and lives in the West Bank settlement of Efrat.”

During his trip, he visited Jerusalem’s Temple Mount and called it a “fulfillment of biblical prophecy.”

Ben Samuels, the author of the Haaretz article, posted on X: “House Speaker Mike Johnson holds ties to Israel's far right — traveling on a private visit organized by a top settler, meeting with the group behind Israel's judicial overhaul and touring the Temple Mount with an activist against maintaining the status quo.”
